I wouldn't have thought that was possible... and yes, I have tons of black feathers left over. I think we should do a dramatic reenactment of "fight two demons" first though.... or caleb and I could tell the story of the Freshmaker...

(Harder to do in tabletop RPGs in a sense, but at least you don't have to write code for it.) Excellent article, esp. for us Fallout fans.
